MIRA is a winery within a winery. A project that runs alongside Milan Nestarec in Velké Bílovice, Moravia, in the Czech Republic.

But MIRA is, above all, Mira. Mirka Nestarcová. The driving force. Once a ballerina and dancer, she brings a much freer, almost artistic approach to everything. Untethered by dogmas, with an open mind and unyielding positivity.

The wines are crafted the way we love them, the way we want to drink them. And most importantly, MIRA is a shared vision of Mirka and Milan. And, of course, the other colleagues in the team. Together, we care for the vineyards and the wines. It could never be any other way.

Mira and Milan create wines in the same place, but each in their own way. MIRA is single-varietal. Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling, Pinot Gris, Pinot Noir, and Cabernet Franc. The grapes come from two villages: Velké Bílovice and Moravský Žižkov, and from three different soils: loess, clay, and sand.

MIRA is guided with freedom. Most of the vineyards are cultivated without pruning or with a system of minimal pruning. For the vineyards that are pruned, no topping is done. We try to give the vine as much space as possible—literally. We don’t want to shape it or mold it into rigid, uniform wines.

Thanks to this free-growing system, we harvest grapes that are smaller, with tinier berries. This creates a different juice-to-skin ratio, a different structure. A better one. Naturally, all the vineyards are organically managed and certified.

The wine is finished in wood and concrete. These two ancient materials are used for fermenting and aging the wines. Spontaneously. The wines are free from enological inventions, and the technological interventions are minimal.

Organic cultivation, intertwined with elements of biodynamics, regenerative farming, minimalism, and holistic thinking. From the beginning, we committed to approaching the soil, the grape, and the wine individually. The wines may change slightly depending on the vintage, as we strive to treat them in the best possible way according to the growing season. Change is part of the game.

Mira is dreams.
